This week, award-winning international film producers announced that a feature-length documentary
depicting the life of Bermudian football legend, Clyde Best, is underway. Through exclusive interviews
and unseen footage, the documentary will touch on topical themes including racism in sports, combating
discrimination and systematic change.
While it’s known that Best was one of the first Black players in First Division English Football, the story
of how he was able to overcome racial discrimination to become the most prominent Black player in the
1970s has never been told. Through intimate interviews with Clyde and other football greats, the film
uses his inspiring journey to open a larger narrative of racial equality in professional athletics.
